"Lambeau" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

Lambeau was commissioned in October as a Christmas present. I was a bit nervous about doing his chain, but it turned out really well I thought. Love the dappled lighting too. I think this painting shows the spirit of a very well-loved companion.

"Chickadee" Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

This painting was a study in looseness. The idea was to do this quickly and to not go over knife strokes too much. I achieved this on the bird itself, but it was a little tougher trying to get an atmospheric background. My plan is to keep practicing this and paint a lot of chickadees this winter. 

I always premix my colors with a limited palette and was really happy with those. You would think a chickadee was just black and white--not so!
